The LOTUS Covenant (League of Organized Tactical & Ubiquitous Security) is a multinational defensive alliance designed to protect its member nations and its allied coalitions from invasion, rebellion, and occupation. The LOTUS Covenant is a “blind allegiance”; its member nations will overlook the internal policies and practices of its Covenant allies in the name of international security and defense. This Covenant has been established under the belief that every government has the inalienable right to govern itself and its peoples whilst free from the oppression and tyranny of an occupying force.
This Covenant is not an offensive alliance, nor is it a body that sanctions the unauthorized occupation of a territory for the purposes of geopolitical conquest or militant imperialistic expansion. It is a Peacekeeping and Security Force, designed to liberate the occupied and to protect the defenseless. Members of this Covenant shall come to the aid of other member nations who call upon us for help in their hour of need. This Covenant shall not bend, nor break, nor waver in its resolve to protect those that trust in us.
Great Seal of the LOTUS Covenant.
Nations who wish to join the LOTUS Covenant must agree to follow the rules laid out in Section II of the Treaty of the Confederation of Allegiance (La Confédération de Fidélité). This treaty serves as the acting Charter of the LOTUS Covenant, so it would probably help to give it a good once over. After you have read and agreed to uphold the principles dictated in this charter, submit your nation's application for entry into this alliance using the requisite form provided below. Your nation will receive notification regarding the reception of your application within twenty-four hours of its submission, barring any unforeseen circumstances. A subsequent form shall be placed for nations wishing to apply for a position on the Security Council of the LOTUS Covenant.
